DISCLAIMER: I did not witness this personally. I am not on this campus. I did not speak to anyone involved. The following opinion is based only on what I have read here on GreekChat and at the above link. I am addressing this opinion to the situation in general and in particular to the "pattern" that seems to be developing at Duke.

OK, WHY in God's green earth would any ADULT think that the possible sanctions facing their chapter are "not fair" and they would rather disband than face their consequences like MEN??????? In both articles, these chapters were currently on probation for alcohol violations. They KNEW what rules they were not supposed to break, but they did. They got caught. Chances are they knew what was going to happen to them when they did get caught.
So WHY are these guys "giving up", and making it sound like it's their only option to continue their fraternity experience? Sorry to be a party pooper, but there are rules to be followed in this world, and consequences when we break them.
Reality is that we all have those chapters that are there for the party and the fun, and less for the founding ideals, etc.
(On another note. . .considering 4 Kappa Sigs gathered anywhere constitutes an official Kappa Sig function is rather harsh. What if 4 of them lived together and one wanted to drink a beer. . .would he have to ask his other 3 roomies to leave?)
